HARLEM, NY — A man's body was found Sunday afternoon on the rocky shores of the Harlem River, police told Patch.

Passersby called the police after spotting the man's body floating in the river near the Macombs Dam Bridge around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, police said. Officers responded to the scene and found the man unconscious and unresponsive near some rocks on the Manhattan side of the river, police told Patch.

EMS pronounced the man dead at the scene, police said. The man's age and identity has not been released.
